Ollyball: The Ultimate Indoor Play Solution for Active, Creative Kids

Dr. Amanda Gummer, a leading child development expert and advocate for balanced play, champions toys that encourage active, social, and creative play. Ollyball aligns perfectly with her Balanced Play Diet, which emphasises a mix of physical activity, imaginative engagement, and social interaction. Given concerns about excessive screen time and limited opportunities for free play, Ollyball provides a safe, engaging, and developmentally beneficial alternative.

It’s a toy that inspires movement, self-expression, and social bonding—all while being portable, versatile, and fun. Dr. Gummer endorses Ollyball because it helps children stay active indoors, express creativity through colouring, and enjoy cooperative play with family and friends.

Getting Kids Moving

Today’s children spend more time on screens and less time engaged in active play. Research shows that physical activity is crucial for brain development, coordination, and overall well-being, yet many children struggle to get enough movement—especially when confined indoors.

Parents often worry about kids playing with balls indoors due to broken windows, furniture damage, or lack of space. But Ollyball is changing the game, allowing children to kick, throw, and hit a ball safely inside their homes—without the risk of damage!

With Ollyball, families can say goodbye to screen-induced inactivity and hello to fun, healthy movement—all while keeping their home intact.

Ollyball: Safe, Active Play for Any Space

• Patented KrunchCOR® Technology: Absorbs impact, so no broken windows or damaged furniture.
• Soft and Lightweight: Safe for indoor use, even in small apartments or homes without outdoor space.
• Encourages Physical Activity: Kids can run, jump, kick, and throw—helping develop coordination, balance, and motor skills.
• Stress-Free for Parents: No more “Don’t throw that inside!” warnings—Ollyball makes indoor play worry-free!

The Developmental Benefits of Active Play

There’s a wealth of research that highlights how movement-based play enhances:
✅ Cognitive function (better focus, problem-solving, and creativity)
✅ Motor skills (improved hand-eye coordination and agility)
✅ Emotional well-being (boosts mood, reduces stress, and builds confidence)

With Ollyball, kids stay active indoors, preventing restlessness and excess screen time while promoting healthy development.

A Creative Outlet for Kids

Ollyball isn’t just for physical play—it also inspires creativity!

• Colour-in Design: Kids can personalise their Ollyball with markers, crayons, or paint.
• Self-Expression & Fine Motor Skills: Coloring helps develop hand control, creativity, and patience.
• Customisable Fun: Themed Ollyballs for holidays, birthdays, or even personal artwork make it unique every time.

This creative aspect supports the Balanced Play Diet approach, which encourages a mix of active and imaginative play. Instead of just playing with a ball, kids can design their own, creating a personal connection to their toy and boosting engagement.

Strengthening Bonds with Family & Friends

One of the biggest benefits of Ollyball is how it encourages social play—a key aspect of healthy child development.

• Perfect for Family Playtime: Parents can join in, fostering bonding and positive interactions.
• Great for Playdates & Parties: Gets kids off screens and engaging with each other.
• Teaches Social Skills: Children learn turn-taking, cooperation, and teamwork.

Dr. Gummer highlights that social play is essential for emotional intelligence, communication, and relationship-building. Unlike solitary screen time, Ollyball helps children connect with others through active, playful experiences.
